I went up in a hang glider once years ago. I called it an ultralite, but he called it a hang glider / trike, with a motor. It was quite fun. I'm sure a C/5 could fly it. I was thinking a van or motorcycle-3wheeler could be driven and steer the same way. A bar going across your front, 3 pin grips

Ooooh I like the idea of trying something new every year! While at Craig I played table tennis and bowling, which was a lot of fun. I also was the first quad to cast a fishing pole prototype one of the engineers was working on and that little ten minute period spent with it got me all fired up
